Dear People Who Make Icons,

I just read this "It ususally doesn't take that long for me to make an icon ( 20 -30 minutes) unless I'm trying to get text on it" in a post.

Is this an average thing? Because if an icon isn't coming together for me in about a minute, I scrap it. I cannot imagine spending that kind of time on an icon.

Sincerely,
A person who sometimes makes icons

So far it seems everyone takes more time when there's text involved, I know I do but I rarely use text because I am not good with it Al, not good at all. I wonder if there are any icon makers out there who are brilliant at the text and can make it look good in a matter of moments?

I don't know that I'd consider the screencapping process part of the icon making but I suppose that technically it is, eh?
